【科學家名句】
亞瑟．愛丁頓：「我認為『熵必然上升』這定律是最高的自然定律。如果有人指出你的理論不符合馬克士威方程，那就讓馬克士威方程面對困難。如果它與觀測互相矛盾，那可以是實驗家們出錯。但如果你的理論違反熱力學第二定律，那我就不能給你任何希望；除了最深刻的恥笑。」
"The law that entropy always increases, holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation." - Arthur Eddington
